Lawnchair 15 Beta 2 is now available! This is a stability-focused release that addresses numerous bugs from Beta 1, while adding a few quality of life improvements.

• Added an option to turn off the alpha change behind the search bar when scrolling in the app drawer (#5934)
• Improved the layout of the About screen, and added a changelog viewer for Nightly builds (##5711)

Alongside that, several issues have also been fixed:

• Fixed an issue that caused the search widget to fail to launch the Google app on Android 14 and above.
• Addressed multiple crashes on older Android versions.
• Resolved a race condition that could cause a crash when customizing an app that was being uninstalled.
• Corrected various visual bugs, including:
  • "Customize" bottom sheet not updating state
  • Search state would not clear when app drawer is hidden (#5933)
  • Wrong icon scaling in app drawer when home screen icons are resized (#5932)
